TOP 5 POINTLESS ADS

It is one thing for a TV commercial to be whacky because then we know that it is either the advert agency that handled the advert that needs to be fired or the budget for the AD is too low. In such cases, we know these ads are downright tacky but when  a TV commercial has good quality  but we still cannot get the point of the ad because there is no particular message the advert is trying to pass across, we say THE AD IS POINTLESS. In recent times, there has been so many pointless ads running on our airwaves and so this week, we count down the top 5 pointless tv commercials we have seen in recent times. 

5 COLMAN wire –AY dancing around

This advert has good video quality and obviously spent more money by hiring popular comedian Ayo Makun aka AY but how does dancing around a wire production factory sell the product? The developer of this concept should be flogged because there is no correlation  between dancing and wire making. What do these people take us for sef?

4 Mr Muscle toilet cleaner -woman talking to spirit

In trying to sell the product the developers of this concept invents a life size character that doubles as a super toilet cleaning hero*shakes head*.It’s one thing to have a super hero to solve problems, but one that specializes in  problem cleaning. That’s bizarre. And to think that at the end of the advert the toilet was not even clean sef

3 MTN ZONE-OSOFIA AND MAMA G

The main message in this ad is that even older people join in the want tomtn zone craze.(Not that it is that fantastic anyway but in the process we all were put off with the ad all together. They were  trying to be funny but really it was boring

2 SNAP APPLE DRINK-Three ladies performing

At the beginning of this ad one expects  the product to  be something more exiting because we see this three ladies enter a bar all glittering and sparkly only to request for an apple drink .Are they now trying to tell us that their life beautiful and their carrier is moving forward because they take an apple drink? This ad is pointless with a capital P.

1 ONGA SEASONING-DIRTY HANDS

This is the most pointless advert ever. The product being advertised is a seasoning powder but the whole advert shows us dirty hands in different stages, shades and degrees. Though the picture quality and production was good  and the props were also on point, we  still don’t know what a seasoning powder has to do with dirty hands. Is it that cooking with Onga now ensures cooking with cleaner hands or what? At the end , we were more confused than convinced about using Onga seasoning.

There you have it! Five pointless adverts that has held on Nigerian TV .There are so much more but only five was picked for now to give you readers an opportunity to vote for ,more pointless and annoying adverts on Nigerian television as they are everywhere.
